Iowa vs Iowa State recruiting 2013-2014?

With Iowa coming off one of their worst seasons in quite some time, and Iowa State coming off one of their better seasons, I kind of thought ISU would surpass Iowa on the recruiting trail. Doesn't appear that way so far though. Iowa is quietly putting together a decent class. ISU is too, but take away Lazard and ours is quite mediocre. Without Lazard we are likely quite a bit farther back in the rankings. (65-80 range) Wondering what others think about this class so far? Anyone worried that Lazard will get cold feet and bolt? It appears that his recruiting efforts in regards to the other in state kids have failed miserably at this point. Hope he sticks around!

We just picked up a stud defense back out of one the best recruiting states in the country and you are worried about what kids we don't get from a lower tier recruiting state? Here's a good question for you, how many Iowa recruits started for us last year? 3 or 4?

Lol! No troll but that is cool. Guess no one has legitimate answer. I pull for all of the Iowa schools and it is a legitimate debate. If ISU cannot begin to take some of that recruiting momentum from Iowa now, when will they? UNI is always going to get what the other 2 schools dont want, but it is concerning that after a year like last year Iowa State had no interest at all from anyone other than a Cyclone legacy

I guess McCarney and Rhoads have proven 1 point let Ferentz get the Iowa kids and we just beat him at the only thing that matters, the actual game.

It will take a year or two of beating the urine stains to change the dynamic of the state. If you are not a troll, then use some common sense.

Are you worried that Iowa's recruits will get "cold feet"...Ross P or Jay S? It's the nature of college football. Iowa State has proven year after year they can compete with less "stars". I think CPR is the right guy and will win some battles in the state and lose others. I'm curious to see Iowa does this year. A lot of questions around Iowa's program with lack of talent at RB, secondary, QB and d-line.
